I was tagged by Heather @ Desperately Seeking Sanity who is so good for this kind of stuff and then I was tagged by PJ. I think y’all are just picking on me!

It said to pick up the closest book to me, but I wonder if that person realized just how hard that is — there are many stacks of books on my desk and at least 3 books in the pile that’s closest to me But I picked one and here is the meme:

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages.)
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

Now, to think of 5 people to tag …

1. Mary Beth Whalen (because I’d love to know what she’s reading right now)
2. Lysa TerKeurst
3. Glynnis Whitwer
4. Renee Swope
5. Shari Braendel
